Art Revamp Strikes Again!

Estelle Knoht Posts: 1751 5/8/2015	If you haven't done so, better clear your caches in browser because FBG is revamping some of their icons! I have a hard time getting used to the new mysteries item because the lips look really rosy. The Cryptic Clue seem too bright as a small icon. The new caperers look really neat! On the other hand I am missing the old one that looks like a zombie outbreak already. edited by Estelle Knoht on 5/8/2015 -- Estelle Knoht, a juvenile, unreliable and respectable lady.

MisterArendt Administrator Posts: 37 5/20/2015	Hi everyone, Paul here. Thanks for all the feedback, it's extremely useful, keep it coming! More changes are on the way, including new ambition icons and a general balancing of which image is used for what. With a game the size of Fallen London, it's sometimes hard to predict how a given icon will behave across the various storylets it appears in, so I'm keeping an eye on this thread for anything that takes people aback. Thanks also for the encouragement and kind words, it means a lot. edited by MisterArendt on 5/20/2015 -- http://misterarendt.deviantart.com/

Kaigen Posts: 530 5/23/2015	Ironically, if they're committed to using an eye to represent confident smiles, they might have been better off using this one instead: Getting the curve of the eyebrow in at least gives you an opportunity to imply confidence more than a super close-up of the eye itself.

marcmagus Posts: 168 5/30/2015	Toper wrote: I wonder about fashions a bit, though. While I like a peek of shoulder as much as the next soul, it seems out of place when the guests at the party are murmuring about a flash of bare ankle. I'd love if they could find a way to depict "attractive woman" without breaking period immersion. It shouldn't break your immersion. A quick image search on 1890s ball gowns shows that while necklines were relatively high and shoulders generally sleeved, bare shoulders were definitely known. Also, I'm given to understand that while ankles implied legs which were explicitly sexualized, shoulders didn't have the same sort of connotation at that time. The bodice in question (I assume you mean bohogirl1) does appear rather plain, though; if she's attending the party with the ankle comments, people are likely to be murmuring about the hard times her family has fallen upon that they can't afford a properly decorous gown for her. Although I assume bohogirl means Bohemian, she probably doesn't interact with that high a level of society, and the Bohemians are...a bit less stuffy about such things anyway. -- marcmagus, a scholar of the Correspondence of some minor note and bold explorer of the new Unterzee.

Suitov Posts: 89 5/28/2015	I for one really like the new style on the majority of updated icons. Jack is superb. The Functionary looks SO wry he could cut something, though the new haircut was a surprise. Very military. The Formerly Struggling Artist looks like a pompous ass: PERFECT. Confident Smile as a smile and non-uber-feminine is quite inspired, actually. Both Forgotten Quarter arts make me sigh. Only the Urchin looks like it needs, eh, bolder outlines or something? Something about the outline of the head feels off and I can't place it. The pose and wary urchin-ness is spot on, though. -- Hello, savoury persons. Shall we become acquainted?

I'm always disappointed when I think I'm going to get a certifiable scrap from the marsh house but it's shroom hopping again...

Allyria Posts: 12 5/23/2015	I... can't decide if what bothers me is the new style or if I just hate change. Probably both. I do dislike the new style - most of it is so... flat, and just seems to have less "character" than the old. It's not bad, it wouldn't bother me if it had been like that when I joined the game, but almost every time I notice a replacement it makes me unhappy. Some of them I didn't notice at all - public, package, rats... And, okay, the Bazaar card IS incredibly pretty. But I don't like the new Magnanimous, Functionary, urchin, Cryptic Clues, cards, heist, message, the gentleman friend whose actual name I forget right now... Suddenly seeing things change to ones I like less bothers me enough that I'm starting to consider dropping the game for a few months and coming back once the update is done and I don't have the old images fresh in my mind any more. edited by Allyria on 5/23/2015 edited by Allyria on 5/23/2015 -- moderately confused

Jeremy Avalon Posts: 345 5/20/2015	I have to agree that Stolen Kiss/Memento of Passion could probably use a little brightening. Even if this is London. However I disagree that the simple style was better; even without the consideration that it's now more consistent with other newer art and Sunless Sea, I think the new versions are more evocative. And less confusing, in some cases. I was never clear on why the Duchess appeared to be eating a live rat -- she certainly doesn't seem Northridden. Also, some feedback on the CMS side rather than the art: It would be nice if the lodgings cards could make use of the actual housing art, especially seeing as we have that new Bazaar card already running around with the Premises art. edited by Jeremy Avalon on 5/20/2015 -- How we must glow; yes, I bet we look like snow.

Hmm... no, not that one. I was referring to the 'drop of honey' icon, where it's dribbling from a spoon. I saw an updated version of it somewhere, but now I can't find it again - at least, not the big one. There's a tiny version in the inventory, of course, but I saw the large-scale on some random opportunity-card. That's the one. Looks much better than it used to. -- One of these days, I will remember to record interesting things in my journal... http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/BlakeTheDrake

In general, the small icon filenames end with "small". By removing that part (ie, going from http://images.fallenlondon.com/icons/honeysmall.png to http://images.fallenlondon.com/icons/honey.png ), you'll get the larger picture. I believe I linked the honey in this very thread soon after it changed. edited by Szadovar on 5/28/2015 -- https://www.fallenlondon.com/profile/Szadovar

Toper Posts: 24 5/29/2015	I really think the artist or artists have been improving and maybe finding their way toward a clearer style since the revamp began. The new Jack is so striking! I wonder about fashions a bit, though. While I like a peek of shoulder as much as the next soul, it seems out of place when the guests at the party are murmuring about a flash of bare ankle. I'd love if they could find a way to depict "attractive woman" without breaking period immersion.
